Introducing our Personal Shoppers

Ysabel

Why should someone book an appointment with you or your team? It’s such a fantastic luxury to have an expert help you put things together, know what you will like, what works for you and what will make you look and feel good. Maybe even try something different!

We are here to provide customised style advice and in-depth brand information. Think of us as your personal style friend where you can be yourself and discover new things. Our clients understand the importance of having a Personal Shopper, and know that getting the right style advice will reduce the bad choices made when shopping on their own.

What’s your speciality? I specialise in women’s wear, catering to busy women who may not have the luxury to spend quality time in Robinsons. I help them with everything from complete makeovers, to wardrobe overhauls, outfits for special occasions and even advice on gifts.

What is the Personal Shopper process? Take us through it. It all begins with the Style Questionnaire. Clients answer a few important questions to prepare for a quality appointment. This helps us to prepare a number of options before they arrive at the store.

When they arrive for the appointment, we introduce our amazing flagship store at The Heeren and what they can expect during the session. This one-on-one approach allows the client to open up a little more and try things they may not normally try – different colours, prints and styles that they’ve not considered before.

What is your personal style philosophy? Dress to impress. First impressions are everything!

What are your favourite brands, and why? The Kooples – For their modern, edgy, rock chic designs, perfect fit and quality. See By Chloe – I love their modern take towards bohemian style, and their cool feminine styles.

Elizabeth & James – Their chic designs appeal to many young women, and I love their laid-back modern style.

Do you have a secret style trick? Shapewear! It works wonders and creates a flawless silhouette for all body types.

Why should someone book an appointment with you or your team? To be the centre of attention for an hour! We are here to provide you with and guide you on a wonderful personal shopping experience.

What’s your speciality? Makeup and beauty.

What is the Personal Shopper process? Take us through it. I begin by asking the customer about the skincare and makeup products she uses, and any concerns she may have. I then suggest some items specific to their needs and let them sample the products. I try to gauge whether they may benefit from other products in addition to the ones they are looking. It’s like 2 friends having a casual chat! Even if they decide not to purchase the items, I try to offer advice that they can use in the future when selecting beauty products.

What is your personal style philosophy? Simple and stylish. I like to wear comfortable separates that can easily be mixed and matched. I sometimes emphasise a bag or even my lipstick by using a “pop of colour”, making my overall appearance more fun and lively.

What are your favourite brands, and why? For skin care, I like Clinique as all their products are fragrance-free. Clinique’s skin care system is suitable for any skin type and so simple! I love the ‘3 step skin care system’ which produces quick and effective results.

Do you have a secret style trick? Everyone wants to get that dewy look nowadays, probably from the hype of Korean actresses. The secret to getting a glowing makeup base is mixing moisturiser with your foundation before applying it to the skin. For a more sheer coverage, mix one part moisturiser with two parts foundation. For medium to heavy coverage, mix one part moisturiser with three or four parts foundation. This beauty trick is also great for people with dry skin types as it keeps your skin hydrated all day long.

Why should someone book an appointment with you or your team? I love meeting different customers with different styles preferences and needs. This is the most challenging part of my job, but also the most rewarding as it’s when I get to potentially change a customer’s view on themselves and their style.

What’s your speciality? Both mens and womens fashion.

What is the Personal Shopper process? Take us through it. My first step is a phone call with the customer. This first phone conversation will determine what shopping services they need, and is a great opportunity to make a personal connection and listen to any concerns the customer may have. Once the appointment is fixed and the Style Questionnaire filled out, I focus on preparing a number of outfits and styles for the customer to try as soon as they arrive at the Personal Shopper lounge.

What is your personal style philosophy? I believe one should look good and feel good from the outfits they wear.

What are your favourite brands, and why? Black Barret (Mens) – Trendy, sporty and yet not OTT! I wear this brand myself and find the collection easy to mix with other pieces. Tara Jarmon (Womens) – Reminds me of French couture! The brand really captures a unique casual look that is also sexy and feminine and can be worn by almost everyone.

Do you have a secret style trick?Be versatile, adventurous and had fun with everything you wear!

Do you have a style icon?I have several! Men – Olivier Giraud and Idris Elba. Woman – Cate Blanchet and Blake Lively.

Why should someone book an appointment with you or your team? I love meeting new people from all walks of life – whether they are interns or CEOs. I enjoy providing honest appraisals for my customers, whether they’re looking for a radical style intervention, or simply a second opinion.

What’s your speciality? My specialty is Home and Lifestyle – but as a Robinsons personal shopper I have a deep understanding of all the Robinsons brands and departments. I love that I’m constantly learning about and discovering new brands!

Which is your current favourite Robinsons collection and why? Sheridan – affordable luxury with excellent quality.

What are your favourite brands, and why? Dress to impress. First impressions are everything!

In bedding, I’m a huge fan of John lewis & Sheridan. Within the collections there are styles and designs to suit every taste – whether you’re after something modern or traditional. The quality of both of these two brands is impeccable!

In fashion, I really like the diversity of mens brand Daniele Alessandrinin. The style is minimal and has a great casual and youthful look. The quality too is amazing!

For working out I love Under Armour. It’s incredibly stylish but definitely helps with my performance!
